In this study, the authors focus on the development of tools necessary for quantum simulations of $1+1$ dimensional quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Specifically, they consider the system formulated in axial gauge with two flavors of quarks. The simulation of this system requires 12 qubits per spatial site, taking into account the inclusion of gauge fields through non-local interactions. To determine the hadronic spectrum and gain insights into the masses and quark entanglement, classical computations and D-Wave's quantum annealer Advantage are utilized. The researchers find color edge states that are confined within a screening length at the end of the lattice. Furthermore, IBM's 7-qubit quantum computers, namely ibmq_jakarta and ibm_perth, are employed to compute dynamics starting from the trivial vacuum in one-flavor QCD with one spatial site. This allows for an exploration of dynamics in a simplified setting. The study also extends its scope by developing Hamiltonian and quantum circuits for time evolution in $1+1$ dimensional $SU(N_c)$ gauge theory with $N_f$ flavors of quarks. Additionally, the authors estimate resource requirements for large-scale quantum simulations. Overall, this research contributes to advancing our understanding and capabilities in simulating quantum chromodynamics in lower dimensions using both classical computations and state-of-the-art quantum computing technologies.

Abstract: Tools necessary for quantum simulations of $1+1$ dimensional quantum chromodynamics are developed. When formulated in axial gauge and with two flavors of quarks, this system requires 12 qubits per spatial site with the gauge fields included via non-local interactions. Classical computations and D-Wave's quantum annealer Advantage are used to determine the hadronic spectrum, enabling a decomposition of the masses and a study of quark entanglement. Color edge states confined within a screening length of the end of the lattice are found. IBM's 7-qubit quantum computers, ibmq_jakarta and ibm_perth, are used to compute dynamics from the trivial vacuum in one-flavor QCD with one spatial site. More generally, the Hamiltonian and quantum circuits for time evolution of $1+1$ dimensional $SU(N_c)$ gauge theory with $N_f$ flavors of quarks are developed, and the resource requirements for large-scale quantum simulations are estimated.
